How to Make a Sweat Band

If you do a lot of exercising, a sweat band is an ideal accessory. You can make your own sweat band from a pair of old sweat pants.

Things You'll Need

• Scissors
• Old pair of sweat pants

Instructions

How to Make a Sweatband

1. Find an old pair of sweat pants that you don't wear anymore.

2. Make a cut across the sweat pants right underneath the knee.

3. Make another cut across the sweat pants just above the knee. You will have a strip of absorbing cloth that works just as well as a sweat band.

4. Wrap it around your wrist a couple times for an effective sweat band.

Tips & Warnings

• The knee area works best for a sweat band because it is thinner and offers a tighter-fitting band.

• You can decorate the sweat band however you wish.

• Don't cut up a brand new pair of sweat pants; it's probably cheaper to buy a new sweat band.
